George W. Bush: “We will not and we must not allow the world's worst leaders to blackmail the United States.”

Mr. Wyeth captured America in his paintings of his native Pennsylvania and Maine.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
